Instrumental psychedelic Brooklyn, NY outfit Titan present an expansive five-track affair with a synth-heavy foundation and a hard rock pretense working together to form colossal swirls of majestic progressive rock on their aptly titled EP SWEET DREAMS. This quartet’s organic blend of trippy krautrock and predominantly keyboard driven hard rock histrionics is directly derived from an amalgamation of Deep Purple and Hawkwind (“Sweet Dreams”), complete with meaty guitars twisting and contorting through massive walls of sound courtesy of a versatile bass and drum tandem, striking a middle ground between a high-speed car chase and a galactic odyssey through the cosmos (“Maximum Soberdrive”). If you ‘d like to take a rocket ride to the outer limits, you’d be doing yourself a favor to allow Titan to be your guide.www.relapse.com
